Erase iPhone 3 data from iTunes without erasing 4S dataa

How do I erase the contact, calendar, and iPod data from my old iPhone 3G? I have a Mac. My data is on iTunes. It is on both my old phone and my new iPhone 4S? I am trying to erase the data from the old phone without erasing it from iTunes or from my new phone so that I can pass it on. In the old phone under settings - general. I selected "reset" but it wants me to sync with my computer. I am afraid to. Help

If you plug in to your old computer, you can select your device and click Restore. When it is done, you want to select "Set up as new iPhone."

I have lost all my itunes data due to a cumputer crash how do i sync my iphone and ipad to itunes without starting all over agian

Hi, I have lost all data from itunes on my computer, is there a way to re-sync or get all the data from my phone and ipad 2 back to itunes on the computer as when I go to sync message appears saying this phone is sync to a different itunes library and it will clear my phone if i continue. can any one help please?

These devices will sync with one computer at a time. When you sync to a new one, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy of your old computer to move everything over.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your devices. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You will need to enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer as well, otherwise that content will be erased as well. If you have a unique entry, then you should get the option to merge the data.
Hopefully you have your backup copy of your old computer and will not have to go through this.

I am updating an iPhone 4 on an iMac, it is not my phone but another one. Is there a way to restore that phones date from iTunes back-up?

Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged. Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
Have you done so? If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer. Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

Good Afternoon irish357,
I know the importance of saving and updating your contacts. What type of phone do you have? If you are using Backup Assistant, you have the ability to sync the contacts between your laptop and phone. You will also be able to see if all your contacts are stored on the online portion of the application versus the phone itself. The contacts should be the same for both online and the phone.
I have attached a link below for your reference.

I hope this information is helpful in resolving your concerns.

Removing songs from itunes without removing them from ipod

Is it possible to remove songs from iTunes without removing them from iPod? When I attempt to delete songs from iTunes I get a warning that they'll be deleted from iPod as well. I've got Manually manage music and videos checked under Options in the Summary window.

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See these about backing up media.
How to back up your media in iTunes.
Buegie's complete back up strategy.
To move music from iPod to computer, check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

How do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD?

How do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD? I don't want 11gb of music stored on my computer when I already have it in my Ipod. Anyone have some info?

You can Transfer music manually, then delete the files from the PC without having it sync to the iPod.
HOWEVER.....
Deleting songs off of iTunes or your computer is a very bad idea unless you have created one or more backup files of all your songs.
Using the iPod as the sole repository of any of your songs is a very risky practice. When (not ‘if’) you need to restore the iPod, return the iPod for service, or it's song files are somehow lost or damaged, you will be re-ripping all your CDs back into iTunes and re-purchasing all your iTMS songs. Restoring the iPod is a common ‘fix’ to many small issues that arise.
If you cannot store your songs on a PC or within iTunes, then you will need to have some storage medium in use (an external hard drive, DVDs or CDs). You should also consider a secondary backup medium for additional safety. Whether you keep your music in iTunes or on an external source – Multiple copies of your music files are a must!
The iPod is really designed to be playback device - not a primary storage device (although it can be used as such), and certainly not as the only storage medium for all your music.
Always backup your PC files: both music and data. Backup as frequently as possible. The usual ‘metric’ is to determine just how much work (hours, days, weeks) or money spent you are willing to repeat by extending out your time between backups. Your choice, your potential headache &/or loss.
Many data-savvy folks have more than one backup and create incremental backups every time they add to or change their Library. Depending on the work I am doing, I may perform several backups during the same day. As they are incremental, and placed on my Backup ExHD – it is a very quick operation to perform several times a day, when needed.
If you are heavily invested in your Library data (Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings, Last Played, Date Added, etc.), then:
it is critical that you also make multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
iTMS REMINDER: While you can always take the time to re-rip the CDs you own to restore your iTunes music, if you lose your iTMS purchased music and have no backups, you will have to re-purchase them. Few exceptions are made to this rule – at least none that I am aware of.
Here is a post on developing a backup strategy:

The operating systems for iOS devices and for Macs are completely different. Applications written for iOS won't run on a Mac no matter what fiddles you try with it. You can sometime extract data by opening the package, but it still won't do you any good. Look in the Mac App Store in your Applications folder to see if there are Mac versions or similar programs (iTunes login required).

No. That's not what I said. You can get an out of warranty replacement, which will be exactly the same model, color, and will be locked in exactly the same way the original is. If you want an iPhone 5, get the 4S replaced, sell it, and use the money to put toward a new phone.

Is it possible to watch a movie purchased from Itunes without internet or an apple device?

I've read a lot of different websites about whether I can watch movies without internet and they've gone back and forth. I want to watch movies on bus trips and I don't want to spend money buying something I can't use for what I want. Help??

What do you want to watch it on?
You need a computer (Mac or Windows) with iTunes, an AppleTV, an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad.

Since I have iCloud enabled and have backed up to the "cloud," can I delete all apps from iTunes without them being deleted from my iPod?

Ok, so I have iCoud enabled on my iPod Touch, and I want to delete all my apps from iTunes without them deleting from my iPod, but iTunes says this:
Please tell me if this is possible. Thanks!
P.S.- When I get my iPhone next month, will all apps and "stuff" be there if I delete all the apps from iTunes and I turn off atomatic downloads to?

No. The iCloud storage feature is only for mobile devices. If you need more space get an external HD formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and drag your iPhoto Library to it. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the library on the EHD to open. Once you've confirmed that the library is OK and working properly you can delete the library from your boot driver.
However, if you don't have a backup strategy in place you should consider doing so as soon as possible. A second EHD that's about 2X the size of your boot and first EHD is needed so you can use Time Machine to make hourly backups. Remember there's only 2 type of hard drives: 1 - those that have crashed and 2 - those that will.

I can't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly.

I can't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly. I was just able to burn a CD and now can't burn another. Any thoughts? I know my CD burner works as I just made a disc. I have tried changing file type from Audio to MP3 with no luck. Thanks for trying to help me.

Hello Sonni,
It sounds like you are unable to burn a disc with iTunes due to this error code. I would first use the following article to check issues with the type of disc drive:

If this is not the case, use the following article to help troubleshoot the issue:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
